Join us for our first Customer Wine Tasting

Welcome to Cork’s weekly newsletter!

Ahhhhh…the Sox in Ft. Myers for spring training and Mercury no longer in retrograde…all is right in the world. And finally, almost a year from when Bill 1st mentioned it to me, we will have our inaugural “Customer Wine Tasting” on Saturday here at Cork’s.

Bill and Cherry have their favorite wines picked out, and will be here on Saturday, February 21st from 2:30 to 5 to share them with you. They will start us off with Quinta da Alorna Arintho, a delicious Portuguese white wine. Next up is Cono Sur Sauvignon Blanc from Chile. From there we travel to Italy for Carpineto Dogajolo Toscano, a yummy blend of Sangiovese and Cabernet. We go back to the USA for Cline Ancient Vine Zinfandel, always 1 of my favorites as well. The award winning Thorne-Clarke Shotfire Shiraz from Australia will finish off this unique tasting event. I can’t promise any dishes to pair with them, but Cherry is a gourmet chef, and if I had to guess she’s gonna whip up something good.

For those of you who have noticed, (I’m guessing nobody) we haven’t changed the mystery discount in over a month. It’s either the ultimate in recycling (and trying my best to be green) or a lack of interest/humor on my part. Either way let’s throw it in the newsletter and up the anti on it. So here it is… recycled 1 more time.

I think my fascination with Dane Cook and that other dude doing THERE’S ONLY 1 OKTOBER commercials clouded my judgment and we just bought too many of these yummy seasonal brews. Let’s blow them out for good this week and next before the Super Brew IV tasting. (boy you can tell how old it is from that reference)

Any remaining Oktoberfest/ Autumn beer can be yours for 5 bucks a 6-pack and $9 for any 12-pks still around. Just shout that magical phrase, or say you saw the mystery discount section of the website and snag the last of the vintage ’08 fall beers. We will also accept all reasonable offers on multiple and case purchases to help rid of us these seasonal brews.

We do have a bunch of new “Spring Beers” arriving daily, so be sure to check them out or ask Josh what’s new in the beer world. Don’t forget our 5th Annual Grand Spring Wine Tasting is scheduled for Thursday night April 2nd from 4:30 to 7:30. So be sure to save this night on your calendar and check the website (corksfinewine.com) for updates. I hope you all can make it to the tasting on Saturday and we’ll see you all there.
